lineage
Command
The lineage
command helps you understand how a specific asset fits into your pipeline by showing its dependencies. It tells you:
- What the asset relies on (upstream dependencies).
- What relies on the asset (downstream dependencies).
This is useful for understanding your pipeline’s structure, tracking relationships between components, and troubleshooting issues with asset connections.
